Shroud of the Avatar

There's a thread for this game in the PC section, but I believe this needs another one here for the MMO fans who have played Ultima Online (UO) or want a game like UO again.

Kickstarter currently in Alpha, this game is basically the new UO. Reading the forums you can see the skills, magic and lore is all UO based. There's going to be housing too - just like UO days, first in best dressed gets the plots!

UO was the best game for me played it for nearly 10 years, and nothing has come close, I've tried pretty much every other mmo out there and all have failed.

Crafting: We will be opening up crafting for testing with more than 100 recipes. Chests full of crafting resources will be provided. Crafting will initially focus on refining and production for smithing, tailoring, and carpentry.

Shopping: Shopkeepers will be open for business for selling and buying.

Town 2: An additional municipality (likely village sized) will be open for business! Exiting one municipality will take you immediately to the other municipality.

List Inventory: For those who prefer spreadsheets to immersion. The inventory battle royale continues!

Character Customization++: Characters will be wiped, but you will now have even more options when creating your character to make it look unique including: facial features, scaling, and more content (hairstyles, head shapes, skin tones, hair colors, etc.)

Its still very much alpha for the point of getting feedback ASAP. Mostly focused around getting feedback on crafting which seems to have both positive and negative feedback. (can't make everyone happy)

I'm mostly waiting to see combat, they are going try out some card system, they want to make it more random rather than just button bashing that all MMORPGs are currently. I'm skeptical but we will see.
